Emotions are as important the trainings for athletes to show high performance. Optimism and pessimism among emotions that affect athlete In this study, it is aimed develop Athletes Pessimism Scale (AOPS). For purpose, who do individual (n=193) team sports (n=218) were included in study. A total of 411 participated study consisting two groups. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory (CFA), convergent divergent validity analyses used examine scale. Besides, item-total correlations, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, Spearman Brown, Guttman Split-Half test-retest coefficients calculated reliability concerns. The results showed items appropriately clustered under optimism subscales by relevant criteria. Factor Analysis, was determined scale explained 57.77% variance. scale, which has a 5-point likert-type assessment, consists 18 items. AOPS sub-dimensions. factor, whose eigenvalue 7.40, explains 41.15% variance 9 sub-factor, 2.81, 15.62% These While first nine constitute subscale, last (10., 11., 12., 13., 14., 15., 16., 17. ve 18.) cluster subscale. sub-dimensions these analyzed Confirmatory Analysis. According analysis, result standard adaptation indices satisfied. line with internal consistency conducted test AOPS, highly reliable time-stable structure. Developing Athlete And (AOPS) valid measurement tool.
